Shipping from Cape Town to UK

Hi everyone,

Is anyone looking to ship a vehicle back in a container in the next couple of months, and might have space for a motorbike?

Cheers,

Archie

Hi Archie,

It's not expensive to crate, I'm sending two from CT to Antwerp, going to be about £500.

Mine are two off-road (so not and never registered) motorbikes to export from South Africa. Do I need the Police Clearance Certificate - I have no registration papers...? Any ideas?

Ok awesome that is not bad. I am also looking to ship an off-road bike (KTM 300) so interested to know what you find out about if you need PCC.

Which company did you get the £500 quote? And is that with your bikes crated & dismantled like how they come new?

Cheers!

Only the handlebars released to place parallel. Otherwise nothing else.

Got a partner in CT who's crating and taking to the port.

More the merrier if you like?

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
